Vitality Personal Training, Inc

Fantastic experience: Rick is wonderful!! My fiancé and I relocated back to Southern California a few months ago, and I'd been struggling to find motivation to get into the shape that I'd envisioned for our wedding. I was a little bit intimated by the thought of seeing a personal trainer because I hadn't been very active for the last few years, but my fiancé noticed Vitality Personal Training when he was exploring the area one day. He encouraged me to at least talk to Rick and do a test workout, and I'm so glad that I took the plunge. The gym is amazing - the machines are state of the art and the space is clean and well-kept. Rick is incredibly knowledgable, encouraging, and kind. I feel no judgment whatsoever when working out with him, and he is able to dial into where I am in my fitness journey and how I can progress every time we have a training session. He is an expert, very attentive, and genuinely cares about your well-being. I initially signed up for weekly training sessions, but now I'm going twice a week. Rick is flexible and accommodating to my hectic schedule. I feel so much stronger already and my fiancé has even noticed my increased endurance when we go on hikes/long walks together. I'm confident that I will be able to reach my goals (and then some) by the time my wedding comes around. This is the perfect fitness situation for me, and I'm so thankful to Rick for his support, nutritional advice, and guidance!

Fantastic experience: I am grateful for Rick Staddon because he is changing my physical and mental relationship with exercise. After losing 115 pounds, I worked with a few trainers who were helpful, but didn’t they show me a true, sustainable path. I was looking for a program that would continually incentivize me. Rick has designed an environment that fosters fitness success. Let me explain- When Rick walked me thru the details on the program and price, I was skeptical. I’d not met a trainer who promised results from only 30 minutes, twice a week. It felt like the time was too short for the investment. I have worked out with Rick for a few months now—and realize that I was wrong. The value he provides is far greater than the cost of a session. When you work out with Rick—you aren’t paying for the 30 minutes in his private gym—you’re paying for his nearly 30 years of experience. The difference makers are that his weight machines are state-of-the-art and Rick makes sure you are properly performing each repetition—You will feel the difference the first time he straps you in (almost like you are heading to the moon!). Unlike the gym, there are no distractions and the focus is on slow and steady execution of each individual exercise. Side note: Rick’s ability to coach through “the pain” of each exercise to get you to the endorphin party happening at the end of the half-hour is probably my favorite part. In his book Atomic Habits, James Clear writes about the radical difference making a 1% improvement has on your overall success. RIck shows me exactly how the 1% rule translates to my fitness journey. He’s figured out the biggest obstacle to maintaining a fitness routine—by making it bite-size—and that is what’s making a difference in my daily life. Rick is well-studied and always willing to share information that will make me better. I’m sleeping better, have significantly more energy, and people think I’m taller because I am improving my posture. (That’s worth the price of admission alone)! What’s more, I’m actually getting stronger. Who knew? Thank You Rick! David R. Christie

Fantastic experience: Rick Staddon came highly recommended to me when I was searching for healing of intractable lower back pain. His studio is filled with “state of the art” equipment that targets specific muscles. He created a great workout for me. Gratefully my back pain is gone and, in the process, my entire body has gotten stronger. My golf game, skiing, hiking, swimming and physical endurance have improved. I am now measuring progress through “inches gained in muscle and inches lost all over.” You don’t need back pain for Rick to transform your body… his expertise and knowledge can change anyone’s life.

Fantastic experience: I wanted strength training that makes a real difference, and that's exactly what I got. Rick's approach is personalized, efficient, and effective. My weight is dropping, muscle mass is increasing, and I feel stronger and better overall. Rick provides just the right mix of coaching, attention to detail, challenge and encouragement. He's good company, too. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Vitality Training Is a winner! Rick will take great care of you. In just 2 months I have significantly improved my posture, overall strength and most importantly, I enjoy much more energy during my workday. I intend to continue every month. Money well spent !!

Fantastic experience: Rick is a true professional, knowledgeable and in his very polite Canadian style takes you to the next level. I’ve made solid improvement and couldn’t be more pleased.

Fantastic experience: Rick has a variety of well-maintained machines in an impeccably clean gym. There are enough machines to vary the workouts. Rick knows how hard to push me and is careful to make sure I have the correct form so I get the best results from each exercise. I have chronic back problems and he knows how to help me get it stronger without injury. Rick is also an interesting guy to hang out with which makes the workouts go easier.

Fantastic experience: My body is literally transforming and I am so greatful to work with Rick to achieve my physical goals. Rick gives 100% full attention to me while we have our sessions. The facility, equipment and training is top notch!

Fantastic experience: Rick Staddon is not just an amazing trainer, but an amazing human being. He has giving me so much wisdom, insight and coaching on what I need to do to regain my overall body strength. He developed a training routine targeting areas of my body I wanted to improve. He is consistent and careful with his coaching, insuring I am using the correct form to get the best results. I started working out with him at his gym Vitality Personal training 30 days ago and I am extremely happy with the results. I have doubled my strength and stamina and feel healthy and strong! As a result of what he has done for me and the time he spent with me, my body has completely transformed, even in my late 50s. Rick’s training will guide me to reach my fitness goals! Honestly could not recommend Rick anymore.

Fantastic experience: A Personal Trainer’s trainer. I’m a trainer of and Vitality is one of the best gyms I’ve ever seen, certainly in Los Angeles and Rick is one of the finest trainers out there. Fantastic equipment and strength building workout. Also extremely helpful with dietary guidance. Real results. You won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Rick's individualized workout routine has been great for me. I feel stronger and more energetic. It is amazing in a short period of time how much strength I have gained.

Fantastic experience: I’m 41 years old I sit behind a desk eight hours a day and when I’m not behind my desk I’m chasing my two kids around. Juggling family and work it’s difficult to find time to consistently exercise. I noticed Vitality Personal Training driving by and took a look at their website. After a demo class I decided to give it a go. I’ve been working out two days a week at Vitality for the last 2 1/2 months and I am very happy with the results. It is as advertised 30 minute intense workouts in a private gym. Rick the owner who is extremely knowledgeable about fitness, nutrition and a all-around really nice guy. The gym is fresh and clean with high end specialized machines. Not your typical gym machines. Since I started I’m feeling far more flexible my posture is better, I’m stronger, I have more energy and I look forward to workingout. I’m happy that I found Vitality Personal Training and to have found time to consistently exercise.

Fantastic experience: Rick creates a vibe that allows me to move through my workout in a smooth meditative way while still being deeply challenged physically. This is rare in my experience. In addition he has a broader array of equipment than any Super Slow gym I’ve been to. If you already do Super Slow strength training you owe it to yourself to check out Vitality Personal Training and to see and feel what it’s like to work with Rick. If you’ve never done or heard of Super Slow you owe it to yourself to try it. It can be life changing!
